Assignment 5-RADIOSS Interfaces & Study of Effect of Notches Challenge

RADIOSS  "Interfaces" & 'Study of Effect of Notches Challenge'

Objective :

  • To Create mesh for bumper assembly with size of 6mm.
  • Import the crush tube model and observing the changes happening in the model.

PROCEDURE :

BUMPER ASSEMBLY MESHING :

  • Open Hyperworks > optistruct > OK

  • Go To File > Import > model > Downloads > Bumper_System 

  >>

  • Then Clear all the temporary nodes in geometry edit.......Temp nodes > clear all 

>>>>

  • Select Surface edit > trim with surf > self intersecting surfs > trim

 >>

  • iT WILL BE OBSERVED AS BELOW IMAGE .

  • Then Extend > Extend over edges > lines to extend over >surfs:to extend and >extend

  • Clear all Unnesssary Surfaces and check the elemnt quality and maintain 6mm nodes gap betwwn the elements.
  • Go to 2D > automesh > select the surfaces>mesh.

  • Then select tools > reflect > elements > displayed > along y axis > reflect

  • After completing there will be a gap between crash box and bumper assembly we have to connect them through 1D connecters using rigids, rods, bars, welds.

 

  • Therefore ,the meshing and 1D assembly of bumper is completed.

CASE : 1 ''''''''To import the crush_tube model and run as it is , and observe the results.

  • File >Import>solver deck>crush_tube_0000.rad>import 
  • Save the model in a seperate folder before running the simulation.

  • Analysis > Radioss > tick include connectors > no of iterations as > -nt 4 > Radioss
  • If there is no errors in .out file and .rst file then we will be seeing the simulation runs. Check for results and observe the output file errors .

>>>

  • We Observe the crash is happening with minimum time of 0 ms and max of 2.8 ms .
  • The Notch in the crush tube undergoes for hard crush followed by the whole tube with second notch too when force is applied on the tube from otherside. 

  • Lets Plot the graphs for the following Avi Video .
  • Hypergraph 2D >Select File >T01 > select X-axis >Y-axis>apply

----

-----------------------------------------------------------

CASE :2 ''''''''''Change the inacti =6 and run the simulation 

  • Click on View > Browsers >Model >Groups > seam contact > inacti will be 0 change it to 6.

  • File >Import>solver deck>crush_tube_0000.rad>import 
  • Save the model in a seperate folder before running the simulation.

  • Analysis > Radioss > tick include connectors > no of iterations as > -nt 4 > Radioss
  • If there is no errors in .out file and .rst file then we will be seeing the simulation runs. Check for results and observe the output file errors .

  • Lets Plot the Graphs for following Avi Video .
  • Hypergraph 2D >Select File >T01 > select X-axis >Y-axis>apply

CASE : 3''''''''''Create the type 11 contact and run.

  • Click on View > Browsers >Model >Groups >create >Type 11 
  • Change the card image and parameters as follows.

  • File >Import>solver deck>crush_tube_0000.rad>import 
  • Save the model in a seperate folder before running the simulation.

>>>

  • Analysis > Radioss > tick include connectors > no of iterations as > -nt 4 > Radioss
  • If there is no errors in .out file and .rst file then we will be seeing the simulation runs. Check for results and observe the output file errors .

CASE 4 : Remove both notches  and remove boundary condition on rigid body node then run.

  • File> import>solver deck>crush_tube_0000.rad >import
  • Edit The notches and aling them.

>>>>SHORTCUT FOR EDITING IS F7

  • Geom>node edit>align node>align

  • Select the nodes and aling them to clear Notches.
  • Detailed Image without Notches.
  • Observe the Changes In the Simulation.

  • Delete the boundary Conditions from the rigid boundary node.
  • View>browsers>hypermesh>solver>BCs>delete

  • Save the model in a seperate folder before running the simulation.

 

  • Analysis > Radioss > tick include connectors > no of iterations as > -nt 4 > Radioss
  • If there is no errors in .out file and .rst file then we will be seeing the simulation runs. Check for results and observe the output file errors .

  • Lets Plot the Graphs for following Avi Video .
  • Hypergraph 2D >Select File >T01 > select X-axis >Y-axis>apply

 

----------------------------------------------------------

CASE 5 : Create a new notch in the middle ,select the whole section and run.

  •  Open Model Case 4 and import.
  • Create a new notch and observe the changes happening.
  • Goto Tools>translate select nodes >in the direction>translate+ or translate-

..

  • Save the model in a seperate folder before running the simulation.

  • Analysis > Radioss > tick include connectors > no of iterations as > -nt 4 > Radioss
  • If there is no errors in .out file and .rst file then we will be seeing the simulation runs. Check for results and observe the output file errors.

>>>>>>

  • Lets Plot the Graphs for following clips
  • Hypergraph 2D >Select File >T01 > select X-axis >Y-axis>apply

 

------------------------------------------------------

CASE 6 : Create a new notch with nodes only from opposing 2 faces and run.

  • Open Model Case 5 and import.
  • Create a two notchs facing opposite each other one above and below and observe the changes happening.
  • Goto Tools>translate select nodes >in the direction>translate+ or translate-

>>

  • Save the model in a seperate folder before running the simulation.

 

  • Analysis > Radioss > tick include connectors > no of iterations as > -nt 4 > Radioss
  • If there is no errors in .out file and .rst file then we will be seeing the simulation runs. Check for results and observe the output file errors.

>>>>>>>>

  • Lets Plot the Graphs for following clips
  • Hypergraph 2D >Select File >T01 > select X-axis >Y-axis>apply

>

  • Finally all the case study is done and observed the contact engery changes with respect to each case.
  • Case Study with and without notches is understood with similar crush_tube example.
  • An overview of Crash Interface is case study in radioss is done.
